Talk of the Sound has learned that Chelsea Clinton may run for Congress next year.
Clinton has been approached by "the right people" in the New York Democratic Party, according to one source in Albany. While no decision has been made, Clinton is said to be "actively considering" a Congressional run from New York State in 2012.
Chelsea Clinton, 31, is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The discussions of running Chelsea Clinton for a house seat grew out of the redistricting plans currently underway in the New York State legislature in Albany.
The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York's 18th District considered a strong possibility. The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12 years.
Bill and Hillary Clinton have owned a home in New York's 19th Congressional District since 1999. The 19th is a swing district that went for Republican Nan Hayworth in 2010. The 18th District on the other hand is solidly Democratic. Barack Obama won the district in 2008 by 62% to 38%, John Kerry won in 2004 by 58% to 42%. Al Gore won the district 58% to 39%.
One senior Democrat, a former elected official in New York, told Talk of the Sound that Democrats involved in the discussions are excited, seeing Chelsea Clinton as an "automatic win" for the Democrats in 2012.

Nita Lowey was to run for the Senate when the Clintons kicked her to the curb to let Hillary run. Interesting if they kick her to the curb yet again for ole Chelse.
Is Huckster Webbell still alive?
Bobby Kennedy was at least born in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. Not much, but better than the Clintons.
Not only has she done nothing, she hasn’t even been a community organizer!
Yes, he’s actually younger than BJ and Hildabeast.
a real beauty she is...
In the south they think she's ugly as homemade soap.
In Kenya they think she's ugly as a mud fence.
She was so ugly when she was born the doctor slapped Hillary.
She was such an ugly baby the hired Nanny had to feed her with a slingshot.
When she went to the zoo on her honeymoon the attendant told her husband "Thanks for bringing it back."
She can't even enter the Halloween costume contest - they told her "No professionals allowed."
Everyone knew she was Bill's and Hillary's pet. When she went off to college they got a real dog.
I smell a failing marriage.
I wonder if he ever "found himself" when he ran off alone to be a ski bum in Sun Valley not that long after the wedding of the century (a $3-5 million wedding event replete with ta$tele$$, cla$$le$$ friend$ and relative$).

Great Job, Roccus!
Bobby Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. He lived in New York from the time he was 2 until he was 11 or 12 and didn't return until he was elected Senator.
I’ve heard how she behaves herself in places like Aspen. Nothing to write home about. Hopefully the New Yorkers in her district can find the light. Her parents are an embarrassment so why continue with their pattern. They should of left the stage years ago.
Won't matter. 'Rats specialize in ugly women.
She flunked Life 101.
Wow. If I recall, Lowey was ready to announce for the Senate in 2000(2002?) when Hillary stomped all over her and grabbed the nom for herself. This would be too delicious for a chickenshit terminally ugly lifelong liberal flea-male who richly deserves being stomped on again by another Clinton woman.
You forgot the "/sarc".
